Have you been to the hood lately? This is exactly what urban culture is like. Now, there is still a disproportional focus, motivated in no small part by racism, on cracking down on urban crime in particular by American law enforcement.
Just got back from a bicycle trip through "the hood." I didn't experience any hostility or criminality so I'm not sure what you're referring to.
You can "prove" almost anything with made up statistics as well. Which is what Yummyfajita's post is essentially.
Just trying to be fair to both sides.
In my opinion...
you are all on pretty shaky ground with what you are putting forth as "arguments".
Just curious, what do you believe I attempted to prove?
How about just the cinema? Or stay at home altogether and watch television.
